What is Bud Break?
Bud break happens when grapevine buds, which have been dormant all winter, begin to swell and unfurl into tiny green shoots. This marks the official beginning of the vintage, setting the stage for the season’s fruit development. While timing can vary each year depending on the weather, it typically occurs in early to mid-spring.
